Jeremy Jimenez, one of the three top executives of CU's student government, said he thought the scholarship was the start of the administration working to meet students' requests to improve diversity on campus.
“They've already made initial steps to work with us, but this is a pretty big step to take,'' he said. “The actual plan to fundraise is great, but we want to make sure these funds are collected.''
Jimenez, a first-year graduate student in the School of Education, said he went through the Pre-Collegiate Development Program. The scholarships, he said, will help recruit more minorities students.
“The more scholarships the students can get, the more we'll bring them to our schools,'' he said.
